A 30-second clip of Narendra Modi waving at the crowd at a rally is being shared by BJP politicians, including\u00a0 Amit Malviya and Priti Gandhi, with some claiming that the video was shot in Kutch and others suggesting it is from Mangaluru. PM Modi held a roadshow in Bhuj<\/a> in Kutch district on August 28, 2022 after inaugurating the Narmada canal. He visited Mangaluru<\/a> on September 2 where he laid the foundation stone for projects worth \u20b93,800 crores.<\/p>\n

Amit Malviya tweeted the video on September 2 with the hashtag #Mangaluru, indicating that the video was shot in Manguluru. He later deleted the video. (Archived link<\/a>)<\/p>\n
